    Does anyone know the speed rating for Firestone's 6.00-16 6 ply NDT tire? I'm considering them for trailer use. All I can find is the rating for some off brand tires of that style which are L or 75 mph.
    Thanks,
    Ken

    Generally tires used on a trailer should be rated or designated as trailer tires. I imagine tires used on Jeep trailers however probably don't need to be. I'm sure others on here would know for sure.

    I think that may apply to radials, since the sidewalls are so flexible and contribute to sway.
